Real Schools rejects the notion that your School Culture can be enhanced with a ‘Drop & Run’ style Professional Learning event.
Despite the ‘feelgood factor’ when a great presenter arrives, they usually take with them much of essential enthusiasm, expertise, mentoring, coaching and support for when barriers and difficulties in the changes occur… because they will!
We have decided that your school deserves better and we’re going to stick around while you get it. Real Schools builds Partnerships with schools just like yours. And instead of paying for an ‘event’ we heavily discount all of the necessary components to actually shift, change, sustain and enhance a productive culture based on outstanding Teacher Practice.

Real Schools rejects the notion that ‘Drop & Run’ PD events can alone transform your School Culture. As such, we have three ongoing and supported options for schools looking to make the changes stick this time.

Real Schools has pulled together the components of support that have the greatest impact in Australian school communities.
Real Schools cultural survey
What is the Real Schools Cultural Survey?
The survey will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete. It consists of 60 questions (well, it’s 61 if you include the first request for your name and email address!) and you should answer with your first impressions in mind. That means, don’t overthink your answers.
Why should I take the Real Schools Cultural Survey?
Defining a School’s Culture can be tricky. This is the first tool of it’s kind in the world designed to provide you with a snapshot of your school’s default strengths and weaknesses – because, just like individuals, we all have them. You can use the survey results to inform your own practice, to prompt leadership/staff discussions, to impact strategic planning and to inform decisions about Professional Development for your school.
There’s also no obligation to Real Schools and absolutely no charge. This is a free service and it always will be.
what our happy surveyors say
Thanks for the Real Schools Cultural Survey report – it is spot on in its analysis of where we are as a school and aligns beautifully with our Professional Learning focus for the rest of 2013. Great insight in some areas of risk we were not explicitly aware of ourselves. What a top product.
Real Schools brought a school-partnership collaborative approach in supporting our school to build and strengthen a positive, relational school culture. Real Schools facilitated collective learning and worked as a member of our leadership team in building a unified vision, supporting a whole school transformative approach in positive school culture and improved student outcomes. Real School’s approach brought energy to our improvement journey, transformed our school practice and remained adaptive to our own school’s individuality and personal needs.
